?'s idea re doors #1 thru #3 showing sample ads and go from there.  This is
turning into a huge committee effort, and I'm now leaning toward a
combination of advert + confront, ie get in upperHP's face about it, but
mostly brag to the world that there's a better-than-Xix OS out there and it
is MPE.  Wirt's sample ad #1 is a great start; I'd lean a little toward
something like

MPE's so great that HP mgmt has forgotten it exists, though it's used for
all their really-run-the-business applications.  The other 3 'strategic'
OS's are 'kewl', so they sell well to lemmings.  (This owl outruns them and
eats them for breakfast?)
